Engagement 101 Covers Trends at 25th Centurion Jewelry Show, Interviews Leadership February 23, 2026 (0 comments)

Phoenix, AZ--Engagement 101 Magazine covered the 25th anniversary of the Centurion Jewelry Show in Arizona, highlighting current engagement ring trends. The coverage featured hand-engraved settings, half-bezel designs, nature-inspired rings, and east-west configurations.

Interviews were conducted a week prior in New York with Howard Hauben, president of the Centurion Jewelry Show, and Tom from the exhibiting brand Oscar Heyman.

"The Centurion Jewelry Show is an invitation-only event," said Hauben, as shown in a video by Engagement 101 Magazine. Hauben noted the event grew from approximately 75 original brands to 230, with Oscar Heyman among the estimated 30 to 40 original participants remaining. Hauben also emphasized that retailers prefer to inspect pieces physically rather than purchasing online.
